Who would you rather have in a 20 team keeper league...Chase Utley or Ian Kinsler and why? If is helps the stat cats are R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS, W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP
Utley, the guy is Elite. Yeah Kinsler is on the way to becoming elite status. But in his 3 year stint in the majors, he has yet to play a full season. Yes Utley does have the hip injury, but offseason surgery should have fixed that, and if it did, look out. Utley isnt exactly an old guy either. PLENTY of years left.
Hope you find that helpful. It's very close, but I'd go with Utley as he should be a steady bet beyond this year once you overlook the repaired hip for this season. For whatever reason, Kinsler's inability to play more than 130 games still counts for something.
